Before your staff can begin to write their Reports, it is vital that you make any amendments to your default, school-wide comments. This will ensure that the maximum amount of time can be saved for day-to-day use, in a framework and language that suits your requirements. To do this, you must have an 'Administrator' login, and you will need to go to the Report Writer page in the 'KS1-KS3' section of the left-hand menu.

Once in the Report Writer, click on the 'speech bubble' icon at the top right of the page. 

Here you can edit or re-write any comments you wish to appear in every Report as default - on a per year, subject, per assessment standard basis.

A Quick Summary

Please see the red pop-ups below for a brief summary of how this works:

A Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Select the year group and subject you wish to edit the comments for.

Step 2

Click in the textbox corresponding to the assessment band you wish to write the comment for.

Step 3

Here, you can make all the changes you wish. You have all the usual formatting tools available, along with the hugely important 'Insert Dynamic Text'.

You can use this to insert the correct pronoun/capital letter combination into your comments, and you will see the code entered for you into the textbox. 

Step 4

Once you are happy with your amendments, press save comments to save your changes and they will now automatically appear in your Reports for any pupil working at that assessment band. Click reset to default to remove all your changes.

Step 5

Repeat this process for all your relevant assessment bands, year groups and subjects, until your default comment bank is complete. These can be edited/updated by an Administrator at any time and can also be personalised in the Report Writer itself by individual users.
